She added that the victim was responding to treatment at an unnamed Hospital facility, while the suspects were arrested at their various hideouts upon a tip-off.
She said an amount of GH¢3,000.00 was found on one of them who admitted that it was his share of the booty from the robbery.
They have admitted their involvement in the robbery in their various cautioned statements whilst two other accomplices are on the run.
The three, she said, have been remanded into Police custody by the Tema Circuit Court ‘B’ to reappear on Tuesday, June 1, 2021.
